We present the deepest spectra taken to date by the Infrared Spectrometer (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. We targeted two faint (~0.15 mJy) sources in the Southern GOODS field, at z=1.09 and z=2.69, as likely star-forming galaxies. Spectra of the lower redshift target were taken in 8-21 micron range (short-low first order and long-low second order), while the higher redshift target was observed from 21-37 microns (long-low first order). Observing times were 3 and 9 hours on-source for SL-1 and LL-2, respectively, and 12 hours for LL-1. We detect strong PAH emission in both targets. We compare the spectra to those of local galaxies observed by the IRS.
